Chris has agreed on the following choices to vote on.
Don't forget to re-read the original postings to see what exactly was suggested (in more detail).
If you wish to refine or comment on these suggestions please do so. This vote ends in 2 weeks at 12.00 Noon (BST). I will submit the winning idea to MME at that stage and we can see who is interested in getting it.
Chris and Lars will continue to keep abreast of this project so your comments will be read.

HD 2 for me. If this idea works out I personally would keep the Hobbit related suggestions on the back-burner to coincide with the films releases in 2012 and 2013

Though Helm's Deep 2 is definitely the most likely winner, and would be available quickest, after due reflection I've voted for the Rangers of the North, as much to make a contest of it as for any other reason - and also because it's a set I've yearned for for many, many years. As Dave says, the three Hobbit/Dwarf related series would have far more commercial potential when the films are released in 2012-2013 rather than now.

I voted for HD2 also, as I agree Hobbit's related suggestions would be better to come up in 2012.

Hi Gildor, Probably the password system needs to be re-thought. I missed at least one vote as I had not the latest pwd's available. And at the moment - please correct me if I'm wrong - you need 3 pwd: 1 to access the pages, 1 for the gold member area and another one to vote for the next M-set. Cdlt, Alex

I have voted for Heroes of Rhovanion, as I think Mithril should begin to open market with new customers. And today better than tomorrow.

Cdlt, Alex If you set your login to be permanent, it will allow you to automatically logged in all the time (on that browser). The reason there is two passwords is simple. We opened the M-Series to non Fellowship members. So to avoid these new forum members ALSO accessing the Fellowship board a new password is set up for the M-Series board. Since I constantly post the password(s) with any correspondance to those interested subscribers I think I cannot do much more to help people remember them.

Well, I´m nearly a dwarf - not by measures - and I did suggest the "Dale & Erebor"-thing. But I will support the Rangers of the North. Since there are a lot of Rohirrim and I don´t like the half-orks` look. But rangers are few and lonely. I even like the Battle of the Five Armies suggestion and the hobbit and all the missing dwarves in war gear. But one has to make a decision.

btw Bombadil, HD2 are neither orcs nor rohirim, if I remember well it is full of dunlendings.
confirmation about what is HD2 specifically would be interesting... but I really think it is dunlending infantry

Well, HD2 would be too easy. There is another range which is very much pleased to many other fellows. I am one of them.

HD2 is " Death to the strawheads!" and comprises a set of the Dunlendings in Saruman's army. Just to clarify things.

I've got explicit authorisation from Chris to display the picture of the full set of HD2. I'm not sure I can do that here nor if it is allowed, but it is allowed on my site so if you want to get a look at it you just need to go there : mmp.faerylands.eu/viewtopic.php?id=492(this thread requires a registration on my forum though... in order not to have this picture publicly visible on google or by anonymous people or anyone) I hope Mithril has nothing against it... PS : Please understand I only got authorization to display it now and would never have distributed it without Chris approval... I have had this picture in my possession since June 2009...

Dunlendings might be okay, too, but I stick to the rangers.
